Chapter 528 Happy New Year
What is an object?
Lu Yangyang almost bit her tongue from his question.
Why is he asking this question too?
She was just looking at the adjectives that she herself hadn't quite understood back then, and she was sure that Lin Wuji wouldn't understand them either, so she was just trying to fool him!
After all, Wen Qingqing always has a lot of apt but unfamiliar new words in her mouth, which are said to come from her idol, Madam Hua Guo.
idol.
This is also a new term.
How apt!
Just like a boyfriend or girlfriend.
A relationship between a man and a woman who are mutually attracted is called dating. How does she explain that?
Is their current situation... a case of mutual affection?
Lu Yangyang's eyes darted around, thinking to herself that if she could meet Madam Hua one day, she would definitely ask her for advice on matters of the heart. She believed that Madam Hua was knowledgeable and could surely resolve her current predicament.
"It's just...it's just..." Lu Yangyang stammered for a long time, still feeling a little embarrassed to say it out loud.
I felt a little embarrassed to look into Zong Que's eyes.
Zong Que chuckled softly.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore," Zong Que gently ruffled her hair. "Since it's a little secret of yours, I won't ask."
He had a rough idea of what it meant to be in a relationship or dating someone, but he didn't quite understand what that relationship entailed.
But the fact that these two girls can tease each other suggests that they are closer than friends, right?
Zong Que looked down at her and smiled gently, "Yangyang, Happy New Year."
"Huh?" Lu Yangyang came back to her senses and realized that today was the first day of the new year.
Her eyelids fluttered slightly. "Happy New Year."
It was just an ordinary greeting, but for some reason, the moment their eyes met, her heart started pounding uncontrollably.
Looking at Zong Que's face so close to hers, Lu Yangyang suddenly tiptoed and quickly kissed him on the cheek before turning to run away.
My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my chest.
She didn't know what came over her; she just did it in that instant.
But after she finished, she became nervous again.
What will he think?
Lu Yangyang turned and ran, wishing she could disappear from the spot immediately.
She had barely taken a step when Zong Que grabbed her.
"Yangyang," Zong Que's voice was a little soft, actually because he was a little dazed and his mind hadn't fully processed what he was going to say. So he reached out and grabbed her first, but when he opened his mouth, he forgot what he was going to say.
Just then, Wen Qingqing, who was squatting at the alley entrance keeping watch, suddenly called out, "Hey, what are you doing?"
Pei Ji immediately slipped past her and disappeared into the alley.
"Young master, speak..."
Pei Ji's voice faltered when he saw Lu Yangyang being pulled back by Zong Que, and he unconsciously took a step back.
He stepped on Wen Qingqing's foot, who was chasing after him.
"Ah—" Wen Qingqing's scream echoed throughout the alley.
Lu Yangyang and Zong Que both looked towards the alley entrance.
Lu Yangyang's earlier tension vanished in an instant, and she asked without thinking, "Are we performing acrobatics?"
Wen Qingqing, trembling with pain, leaned against the wall and pointed at Pei Ji, accusing him: "That thief has no eyes!"
Pei Ji: "...I think I should have slowed down a bit."
If he hadn't been so fast, he wouldn't have taken that forward step so quickly, and that backward step so quickly too!
How is it precisely that inappropriate?
Impulsive.
Pei Ji calmly took a step back, turned around and apologized to Wen Qingqing: "Sorry, I was too fast."
Wen Qingqing glared at him angrily, but since he was being so nice, she couldn't hold a grudge. She could only stare at Lu Yangyang with teary eyes and mouth, "You have to make it up to me!"
Lu Yangyang awkwardly touched her nose and quickly nodded in admission of defeat. If she hadn't asked Wen Qingqing to keep watch for her, Wen Qingqing wouldn't have suffered this undeserved disaster!
Zong Que released Lu Yangyang and asked Pei Ji, "What happened?"
Pei Ji quickly handed him a small note.
Zong Que opened the small note and glanced at it, his expression darkening slightly.
Lu Yangyang didn't notice and looked at Zong Que. Zong Que didn't hide it from her and handed her the note: "Yangyang, I'm afraid I have to go first and can't travel with you."
Lu Yangyang had already seen the contents of the note.
Amidst the turmoil on the southwestern border, Yan Yue mistakenly entered Huoyin Mountain and disappeared without a trace.
Even traveling at top speed from the southwest to Yuzhou would take several days, meaning that Yan Yue's disappearance must have occurred several days ago. If there are no further clues, he may have already met with misfortune.
"Your Highness..." In her anxiety, Lu Yangyang looked nervously at Zong Que.
“There are two possibilities: either Yan Yue has really met with misfortune, or Zong Ke has set a trap to lure me out. Either way, I must get there as soon as possible.” Zong Que took out a pouch from his pocket and a black crescent-shaped token that was only half the length of a finger from it. “This is the token of the Governor-General of the Southwest. Keep it; you will need it in the future.”
Lu Yangyang took the token and wanted to say, "I'll go with you," but the academy in Yuzhou hadn't been set up yet, and she couldn't just leave so irresponsibly.
As for the military affairs in the southwest, she couldn't help with them, and even if she went along, she wouldn't play any crucial role, let alone help Yan Yue.
Lu Yangyang hesitated for only a moment before she came to her senses, quickly gripped the token in her hand, and nodded to Zong Que: "I understand. Be careful on your journey. Also, I need you to arrange for two people to take Elder Meng over first. He comes from Miao territory and was once a military doctor. We've been researching many effective methods for treating external injuries these past few months, and he might be able to help. Qingqing and I will come to find you once things are on track in Yuzhou."
She wouldn't be of much use now, but Old Meng is different; the Southwest is his hometown, and perhaps he can be of help.
Zong Que nodded.
Then he led Pei Ji out of the alley.
After everyone left, Wen Qingqing asked her with a puzzled look, "You just let him go like that? Aren't you going to follow him? His injury is only temporarily treated; if he gets injured again, even a miracle won't save him. Aren't you worried?"
Lu Yangyang sighed, "I'm worried!"
Wen Qingqing's eyes widened: "Then why did you let him leave?"
Lu Yangyang sighed again: "He wouldn't feel at ease if I stayed, but there are some things only he can do, and I can't abandon what I need to do halfway just because I want to chase after him! I wish I had a clone!"
No, if she had a clone, she could create one to go find Yan Yue! And another one to go find Xiao Li!
Lu Yangyang shook her head and grabbed Wen Qingqing: "Let's not talk about that now. You should hurry up and help me organize the prescription so that Elder Meng can take it with him. Also, the penicillin, we might need it!"
Before Wen Qingqing could even react, she was being dragged away. Wen Qingqing cried out in pain, "Slow down! My foot!"
"Shall I carry you?"
"Then hurry up and memorize it!"
